The furniture delivery people just left my place. Yesterday they gave me a delivery “window” from 8 a.m. to noon.
Okay, first of all, that is not a window. A window is 30 minutes. An hour tops. Four hours is an entire glass ceiling.
Then, they arrived at 7:30 a.m. and called me incessantly.
A four hour window and you can’t even hit that?
They asked me where I wanted everything put. I would have told them, but I doubt they would have been willing to comply given that my directions would have included a sensitive anatomical region.
Ever hear the expression “can’t hit the broad side of a barn”? I’m officially changing that up to “can’t even make it inside a furniture delivery window.”
How about the TV and telephone company repair guys, aka “technicians,” who give you and 8 am to noon window, arrive at 11:45 am, and then stay until 2 pm, thus killing the entire day,
Heh..when my bed was delivered, the “window\” they gave me was “9 a.m. to 5 p.m.”
I said, “You have got to be kidding!! I have to take a DAY OFF FROM WORK to get my bed??”
After all of that, I took the day off, waited all day..and they showed up at 5:15 p.m.!!!
so, not to take away from the deservedly snarky criticism theme, but … what did you get? new furniture is exciting.
I know, that is just so annoying. You pay for something and do not get the service you deserve. There are excusable instances but most of the time, you need to demand for what you paid for.
My last furniture delivery guy said he couldn’t believe I wasn’t Chinese because white people don’t like beds as firm as mine. Eh, racist much?
I know this will shock and amaze you, but every technician or delivery we’ve had has been either well within the “time frame” or bang on time. We had water saving devices fitted, and they showed up exactly when they were meant to. I nearly fell over.
